GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, has revealed its global league tables for top 10 financial advisers in consumer sector by value and volume for Q1-Q3 2021 in its report, ‘Global and Consumer M&A Report Financial Adviser League Tables Q1-Q3 2021’.

According to GlobalData’s M&A report, a total of 2,854 mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals were announced in the sector during Q1-Q3 2021, while deal value for the sector increased by 89.2% from $167bn during Q1-Q3 2020 to $316bn during Q1-Q3 2021.

Top advisers by value and volume

JP Morgan and Rothschild & Co emerged as the top M&A financial advisers in the consumer sector for Q1-Q3 2021 by value and volume, respectively.

With 24 deals worth $34.1bn, JP Morgan recorded the highest value among all the firms. Rothschild & Co led the volume chart, with 48 deals worth $15.4bn.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: Rothschild & Co was among the only two firms that managed to advise on more than 40 deals during Q1-Q3 2021. Although it led by volume, it lagged in terms of value due to its involvement in low-value deals and had to settle for the seventh position by value.

“Meanwhile, JP Morgan, which advised on half the number of deals compared to Rothschild & Co, managed to top the list by value. JP Morgan advised on 10 billion-dollar deals (valued more than or equal to US$1bn), while Rothschild & Co advised on three such deals.”
